TOPICS OF THE DAY.
TWO DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS FOR THE
NORTHERN TEXAS DISTRICT.
Other Appointments by the President—The New
Capital Contract Still Hangiug Fire—
Other Items of Current Interest.
IN GENERAL.
Chicago, 111., July i.—At 11:30 o’clock
a car arith eight policemen and a reporter as
the sole passengers, started from the harn
on Western avenue downtown on the Madison
street tracts. The car went through
without any difficulty except occasional
hootings. Trouble was expected at Halstead
street, but there was none. This car
wa3 followed by two others, also with police
and deputy sheriffs, but no other passengers
were taken. The cars went over the route
without molestation, but on the return trip
the cars were met by a mob of four or five
thousand at Jefferson street, and they followed
the cars with shouts and yells to
Union street. From there on; to Halstead
street, the scene was of the most riotous
description. The crowd hurled beer barrels,
bricks, stones and all sorts of missiles at
the cars, smashing the windows and nearly
wrecking them. Several arrests were made,
but the police were almost powerless to handie
the mob. At Union street all sorts of
obstructions were thrown on the track.
Several ringleaders were arrested and a
shot was fired at one of the supposed
leaders. Missiles were even thrown from
the buildings on the street at the cars. The
cars moved along slowly with a great crowd
following and uttering threats. Proceeding
further west an enormous crowd of the
threatening men had [assembled near Ann
street, and the air was filled with stones as
the cars tried to make their way through.
Policemen were hit and injured, and the cars
badly wrecked, resulting in their being
thrown off the track and overturned near
the sidewalk line. The authorities are now
massing thEentire reserve police force along
Madison street, and are making assn umber
of arrests.
New York, July 1.—The steamship
Wisconsin, which arrived at this port from
Liverpool this morning, had among her passengers
541 Swedish and Danish converts
to Mormonism. These people were in the
care of Elder J. Bansen, president of the
emigration company. All ages were represented,
from grayhaired grandfathers and
grandmothers to litile grandchildren; fifteen
missionaries were with the flock. This
is the largest company of Mormon emigrants
that has arrived in the United States since
last summer and ifiis stated that it will soon
be followed by another equally as large.
Nearly all of the people will settle in rural
districts of Utah, though some will stop in
Salt Lake City and a very few will go to
Mexico. It should be remembered that
Mexico has not yet become a popular country
for Mormons. There has been something
of a rivival of Mormon missionary
work in Europe and it may be expected that
the [tide of Mormon immigration to this
country will be increased during the next
few years.
New. York, July 1.—The appointment
by the president of ExLieutenantGovernor
and ExCongressman Wm. Dorsheiraer as
United States marshal was the general
topic of discussion among politicians and
club men this evening, and nearly everybody
appeared pleased with the appointment.
Mr. Dorsheimer’s appointment was
recommended by Tammany. While he has
not been a member of either of the prominent
democratic clubs of the city, it is understoodthat
his affiliations have been with
Tammany.
Gen. McMahon’s appointment is claimed
both by the county democracy and by Irving
hall, but it is thought by some of the leading
politicians, that his appointment is due to no
one organization, but to several.
Mt. McGregor, July i.—There came to
the notice of the family this morning a press
report, purporting to come from Washington,
in which these words occur, being credited
to Col. Dent, who is a brother of Mrs. Grant:
“I am afraid Gen. Grant will not last many
days. Today I received information from
the family that the cancer has commenced to
inflame the jugular veil?, and death is but the
question of a few days in the opinion of the
physicians.” Much pain was occasioned the
family by the alleged utterances upon the authority
of the family, and by request it is
denied that the statements have any warrant
from the household of Gen. Grant or from
his physicians.
Washington, July I.—Mr. Mulderow was
today formally appointed first assistant secretary
of the interior and Mr. Geo. A. Jenks,
of Pennsylvania, was appointed second assistant
secretary of the interior. These
offices were created by the last congress.
Mr. Jenks had an interview with Secretary
Lamar today and was introduced to the
chiefs of division of the department. He
will be given the charge of his duties as
soon as a room can be fitted * for his occupancy.
E. S. Wilson of Jackson, Mississippi,
the editor and proprietor of The New
Mississippian, was today appointed receiver
of public monies at Evanston, Wyoming.
Tomi.stone, Arizona, July i.—A. J.
fluncke, a miner, brought in the news yesterday
from the frontier, of an engagement
between Indians and whites last Thursday,
thirty miles "southwest of the frontier, in
which thirtysix Indians and sixteen Americans
were killed and several wounded,
Today further information was received of
an engagement between the entire force
under Lieutenant Davis and the Apaches,
in which sixteen Indians were killed and fifteen
to twenty taken prisoners. The loss of
the whites is not stated.
Washington, July 1. The president at
a late hour this afternoon made the following
appointments: James B. Hayes, of Wisconsin,
chief justice of the supreme court
of Idaho territory.
To be marshals of the United States: W.
L. Cabell, of Texas, for the' northern district
of Texas: James M. Liddel, of Mississippi,
for thenorthern*district of Mississippi.
To be attorneys of the United States:
Robert S. Shield, of Ohio, for the northern
district of Ohio; Chas. B. Pearre, of Texas,
for the northern district of Texas; Benj. F.
Jonas, of Louisiana, to be collector of customs
for the district of.New Orleans.
Chicago, July 1.—Suit for $450,000 has
been entered in the superior court against
a board of trade firm, JohnT. Lester & Co.,
by Samuel Burkowitz, under the provisions
of the gambling law. Burkowitz’s declaration
states that one Edwin Partridge, between
July 1st, 1883, and Febuary 8th, 1884,
lost to the defendants $150,000 by making
bets and wagers on grain and stocks, and
thereby esgaging in gambling transactions
under the statute. The act provides that
when the losing party does not sue within
six months to recover the amount lost, any
6'ther party may bring suit to recover three
times the amount, and retain onehalf the
amount collected for his own use, balance to
go to the county . Burkowitz'novv hopes to
recover a snug sum for himself and also to
benefit his fellow citizens as well, if he recovers,
the $450,000 sued for.
Weatherford, Tex., July 1.—The trial
of Fred DeSmith,for complicity in the killing
of James Lee by Milliken, after ten days
hard work, was concluded yesterday at
a late hour, and Justice Squyer "admitted
DeSmith to bail and fixed the amount at
$6000, which was promptly given.
Chicago, III., July t.—The jury in the
Mackin perjury case returned a verdict of
guilty. [J is punishment is fixed at five years’
imprisonment in the penitentiary. As the
last words of the verdict were pronounced
Mackin slightly patted and clasped his hands
together, as if in a spasm of pain, but this
lasted but a moment, and he chatted and
smiled with his brother.
Washington, July 1.—It is stated on
good authority tonight that Malcolm Hay,
first assistant postmastergeneral, has resigned
on account of failing health. His
physician tells him that he will not live three
months if he remains in office.
Washington, July 1.—The appointment
of William Dorsheimer United States
district attorney and Gen. McMahon United
States marshal for the southern district of
New York is regarded as a chunk of meat
thrown to Tammany. The appointments
are firstclass, and probably will appease
Tammany.
FOREIGN.
London, July i.—Lord John Manners,
postmastergeneral, addressing a conserva
tive meeting at Leicester last evening, said
that without pretending to state the policy of
the government he was able to say that they
would try to bring order out of the present
chaos in Egypt, and would endeavor to terminate
the tension of Afghan’s frontier
which endangers India; also that they favor
increasing the efficiency of local administration.
Lady Churchill, who is the daughter of
Mr. Leonard Jerome of New York, is personally
engaging in the Woodstock canvass
to secure the reelection to parliament of her
husband, Lord Randolph Churchill, the new
secretary of state for India. The liberals
are very active in their efforts to accomplish
the defeat of Lord Randolph and to secure
the election of Mr. Corrie Grant. The return
of Lord Randolph Churchill for Woodstock,
at the present election, is considered
very doubtful.

CLOSING SCENES
IN THF. STATS TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION TODAI.
•
Senator Coke on the Blair Educational Bill—The
New President—Austin the Place of
Meeting Next Tear.
At the afternoon services of the state
teachers’ association yesterday Miss Nannie
C. Breeding read an interesting paper on
“Association Work.” It was referred to a
special committee, to consider the suggestions.
A communication was read from Gen. L.
S. Ross, expressing his regret that unavoidable
absence from the city would prevent his
acceptance of the invitation to address the
association.
An invitation from Mayor Wilkes and
Chief S. A. Hogan, to the association, to
witness an inspection and drill of the Waco
fire department, Thursday, at 5 p. m. was
accepted.
Resolutions as follows were read and referred:
By P. U. Pennybacker:
Resolved, That an educational fair be
held in conjunction with and under the|auspices
of this body, at its next meeting, and
that the president of this association appoint
three gentlemen and three ladies to get up
the same, and that these six persons receive
for their services a sum of money to be designate^
by this association.
By J. A. Ii. Granbury:
That in order to facilitate the labor of
teachers desiring situations to secure them
when there are vacancies, and in order to
aid schools in securing the services of
teachers who may desire such situations,
the conductors of the Educational
Journal be requested to report localities
that may be without teachers, and that
teachers who may be apprized of the existence
of such vacancies, . report them
promptly that they may appear in the next
issue of the Journal.
By R. A. Dowlen :
Resolved, That all executive positions,
professional in their nature, should be filled
by men drawn from the profession, and that
we, as teachers, recognize that principle and
emphatically glahn that all said positions belonging
to the profession of teaching should
be filled by men drawn from the ranks of
teachers.
Recess until 8130 p. m.
NIGHT SESSION.
Music, instrumental selection, by Mrs. R.
O. Rounsavall. Mrs. A. L. Speer read a
selection, “How Ruby Played,” that was
much admired. “Our Little Ones,” was an
interesting and practical paper, read by Miss
Maggie Barlow. Superintendent Rote, of
San Antonio, delivered an address on
“Natural History and Science in the Public
Schools.” The gist of his argument was
that the natural sciences are best adapted to
developing the perceptive faculties of the
child. Profs. Coleman, Poyner, Banks and
Rodgers each made brief address on this
subject, Prof. Rodgers taking issue with
Prof. Rote. Adjourned until Thursday, at
9 a. m.
today’s session.
The association was called to ordei at
nine, this morning, by president Dow. A
vocal selection gwas rendered with excellent
taste and execution, by Misses Hutchenrider
and Trice, of Waco.
Miss Nanine Plarrison, Greenville, read
a paper entitled “A Plea for English Literature.”
This was perhaps one .of the
ablest documents read during the session
and elicited much commendation.
Austin was selected as the place to hold
the next annual meeting, on the last Tuesday
in June,?i886.
Prof. John M. Richardson, of Leesburg,
Camp ' county, jwas elected president for
the ensuing year. On motion the election
of other officers was postponed until the afternoon
session.
Senator Richard Coke was then introduced
to the association and spoke more
than an hour. The senator devoted his attention
chiefly to the Blair educational bill,
which he disapproves in toto,as being unconstitutional
in its nature and tendencies, and
calculated to pave the way to a centralized
federal government, altogether too paternal
in its operations for the good of the American
people. It must not de understood,
however, that Senator Coke is not an ardent
advocate of general and public education.
On the contrary he so announced himself
and the address made a profound impression
on his hearers. The association then adjourned
until three o’clock £.this afternoon.
NOTES AND INCIDENTS.
Tonight’s session will close the meeting
of the association.
There are several important papers to be
read this afternoon.
‘ The delegates say this is the best attended
meeting that has been held and the result,,
will be highly beneficial.
Many of the delegates leave for home tonight.
They say they will carry away
pleasant memories of Waco and her people.
The Day desires to make cordial acknowledgments
of courtesies received during
the session from Secretary J. N. Gallagher.
His kindness will not be forgotten.
LOCAL SOCIETY NOTES.
The German Last Night—Opening of the Symphony
Concerts.
The german at Armory hall complemintary
to the visiting young ladies, Misses
Pope and Weir, of Austin and San Antonio,
was without exception one of the most
charming events which have graced the annals
of society here for many months. The
number in attendance was unusually large,
and despite the novelty of a July german,
enjoyed till late the pleasures which the
fantastic ever changing figures afford. The
favors were excedingly pretty, some of them
being decidedly unique in
design and • gemsin their way.
Profs. Krause and Pollock with their assistants
rendered some very excellent dance
music, while as usuaPMr. Walter Fort led
the german with consummate tact and skill.
To those who are devoted to the refined and
elevating pastime which the german affords,
the_.success of last night’s entertainment was
peculiarly gratitying as it showed that notwithstanding
the tirades of abuse cf
late heaped upon the german by some least
able to appreciate its graces and beauties,
they had no other effect than to increase the
number in attendance and make the pleasure
of the occasion more keenly relished.
THE SYMPHONY CONCERTS.
The inaugural concert, of the symphony
series, by the Kempa Ladies’ orchestra,
was given last night at Padgitt’s Park. The
attendance was very large, made up of the
creme of society, admission being confined
to the subscribers. The following delightful
programme was rendeied:
1. Overture.........................................Ladies’Orchestra
2. Violin Solo, First Concerto............................ Beriot
Miss Eva Kempa.
3. Valse, a Toi...............................................Waldteufel
Ladies’ Orchestra.
t Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (by request)
•............................'................................................Weber
Larghetto, Allegro, Marcia, Rondo.
Piano, Mr. Pieczonka Kempa.
5. Cello Solo, Rhapsodie Hongroise...............
.....................................................Muller Bergmann
Miss Hellene Kempa.
PART II.
6. Grande Trio Trovatore................................... Verdi
Misses Alice and Helene and Mr. Kempa.
7. Song for Soprano, Oluci di quest anima, Donizetti
Madam Kempa.
8. Piano Solo, Grande Polonaise Heroique, Pieczonka
Fantasie Dramatique.....................Liszt
Mr. Pieczonka,
9. Overture, Zampa...........................................Herold
Ladies’ Orchestra.
It goes without saying that these several
selections, especially the trio from “II
Trovatore,” were given in faultless style
and the critical audience had naught to
complain of. The only drawback was the
nonappearance of Mrs. Adolph Friendlaender,
who was too unwell to carry out
her kind intention of volunteering one or
two vocal selections. The next of the
symphony series will be given on Tuesday
evening, July 7th.
A Waco Minister Deservedly Honored.
The board of trustees, to elect a principal
for the Presbyterian High School, to be
established at Round Rock, met last night
at Temple. Rev. C. IT. Dobbs, of Waco,
for several years traveling evangelist of the
Central Texas Presbytery, was the unanimous
choice of the board. This is an A No.
I selection. By years, character, attainments,
personal standing and matured experience
Mr. Dobbs is preeminently qualified
to fill the place, build up the school and
give it usefulness and prestige. The only
thing we have to regret about it is that he
and his estimable family will have to remove
from Waco to Round Rock. The institution
will open early in September, in spacious
and comfortable buildings, and a large
attendance is already assured. Mr. Dobbs
has the appointment of the faculty.
If you would have your wife and children
to take the best Iron Tonic made, call for
“Improved Iron Invigorator.” None like
it. ’Tis suited for every case of infeebleness.
Dyspeptic, without mistake this is
your medicine. Try a bottle. Manufactured

Chicago, III., July t.—The jury in the
Mackin perjury case returned a verdict of
guilty. [J is punishment is fixed at five years’
imprisonment in the penitentiary. As the
last words of the verdict were pronounced
Mackin slightly patted and clasped his hands
together, as if in a spasm of pain, but this
lasted but a moment, and he chatted and
smiled with his brother.
Washington, July 1.—It is stated on
good authority tonight that Malcolm Hay,
first assistant postmastergeneral, has resigned
on account of failing health. His
physician tells him that he will not live three
months if he remains in office.
Washington, July 1.—The appointment
of William Dorsheimer United States
district attorney and Gen. McMahon United
States marshal for the southern district of
New York is regarded as a chunk of meat
thrown to Tammany. The appointments
are firstclass, and probably will appease
Tammany.
FOREIGN.
London, July i.—Lord John Manners,
postmastergeneral, addressing a conserva
tive meeting at Leicester last evening, said
that without pretending to state the policy of
the government he was able to say that they
would try to bring order out of the present
chaos in Egypt, and would endeavor to terminate
the tension of Afghan’s frontier
which endangers India; also that they favor
increasing the efficiency of local administration.
Lady Churchill, who is the daughter of
Mr. Leonard Jerome of New York, is personally
engaging in the Woodstock canvass
to secure the reelection to parliament of her
husband, Lord Randolph Churchill, the new
secretary of state for India. The liberals
are very active in their efforts to accomplish
the defeat of Lord Randolph and to secure
the election of Mr. Corrie Grant. The return
of Lord Randolph Churchill for Woodstock,
at the present election, is considered
very doubtful.

special committee, to consider the suggestions.
A communication was read from Gen. L.
S. Ross, expressing his regret that unavoidable

NIGHT SESSION.
Music, instrumental selection, by Mrs. R.
O. Rounsavall. Mrs. A. L. Speer read a
selection, “How Ruby Played,” that was
much admired. “Our Little Ones,” was an
interesting and practical paper, read by Miss
Maggie Barlow. Superintendent Rote, of
San Antonio, delivered an address on
“Natural History and Science in the Public
Schools.” The gist of his argument was
that the natural sciences are best adapted to
developing the perceptive faculties of the
child. Profs. Coleman, Poyner, Banks and
Rodgers each made brief address on this
subject, Prof. Rodgers taking issue with
Prof. Rote. Adjourned until Thursday, at
9 a. m.
today’s session.
The association was called to ordei at
nine, this morning, by president Dow. A
vocal selection gwas rendered with excellent
taste and execution, by Misses Hutchenrider
and Trice, of Waco.
Miss Nanine Plarrison, Greenville, read
a paper entitled “A Plea for English Literature.”
This was perhaps one .of the
ablest documents read during the session
and elicited much commendation.
Austin was selected as the place to hold
the next annual meeting, on the last Tuesday
in June,?i886.
Prof. John M. Richardson, of Leesburg,
Camp ' county, jwas elected president for
the ensuing year. On motion the election
of other officers was postponed until the afternoon
session.
Senator Richard Coke was then introduced
to the association and spoke more
than an hour. The senator devoted his attention
chiefly to the Blair educational bill,
which he disapproves in toto,as being unconstitutional
in its nature and tendencies, and
calculated to pave the way to a centralized
federal government, altogether too paternal
in its operations for the good of the American
people. It must not de understood,
however, that Senator Coke is not an ardent
advocate of general and public education.
On the contrary he so announced himself
and the address made a profound impression
on his hearers. The association then adjourned
until three o’clock £.this afternoon.

The Day desires to make cordial acknowledgments
of courtesies received during
the session from Secretary J. N. Gallagher.
His kindness will not be forgotten.
LOCAL SOCIETY NOTES.
The German Last Night—Opening of the Symphony
Concerts.
The german at Armory hall complemintary
to the visiting young ladies, Misses
Pope and Weir, of Austin and San Antonio,
was without exception one of the most
charming events which have graced the annals
of society here for many months. The
number in attendance was unusually large,
and despite the novelty of a July german,
enjoyed till late the pleasures which the
fantastic ever changing figures afford. The
favors were excedingly pretty, some of them
being decidedly unique in
design and • gemsin their way.
Profs. Krause and Pollock with their assistants
rendered some very excellent dance
music, while as usuaPMr. Walter Fort led
the german with consummate tact and skill.
To those who are devoted to the refined and
elevating pastime which the german affords,
the_.success of last night’s entertainment was
peculiarly gratitying as it showed that notwithstanding
the tirades of abuse cf
late heaped upon the german by some least
able to appreciate its graces and beauties,
they had no other effect than to increase the
number in attendance and make the pleasure
of the occasion more keenly relished.
THE SYMPHONY CONCERTS.
The inaugural concert, of the symphony
series, by the Kempa Ladies’ orchestra,
was given last night at Padgitt’s Park. The
attendance was very large, made up of the
creme of society, admission being confined
to the subscribers. The following delightful
programme was rendeied:
1. Overture.........................................Ladies’Orchestra
2. Violin Solo, First Concerto............................ Beriot
Miss Eva Kempa.
3. Valse, a Toi...............................................Waldteufel
Ladies’ Orchestra.
t Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (by request)
•............................'................................................Weber
Larghetto, Allegro, Marcia, Rondo.
Piano, Mr. Pieczonka Kempa.
5. Cello Solo, Rhapsodie Hongroise...............
.....................................................Muller Bergmann
Miss Hellene Kempa.
PART II.
6. Grande Trio Trovatore................................... Verdi
Misses Alice and Helene and Mr. Kempa.
7. Song for Soprano, Oluci di quest anima, Donizetti
Madam Kempa.
8. Piano Solo, Grande Polonaise Heroique, Pieczonka
Fantasie Dramatique.....................Liszt
Mr. Pieczonka,
9. Overture, Zampa...........................................Herold
Ladies’ Orchestra.
It goes without saying that these several
selections, especially the trio from “II
Trovatore,” were given in faultless style
and the critical audience had naught to
complain of. The only drawback was the
nonappearance of Mrs. Adolph Friendlaender,
who was too unwell to carry out
her kind intention of volunteering one or
two vocal selections. The next of the
symphony series will be given on Tuesday
evening, July 7th.
A Waco Minister Deservedly Honored.
The board of trustees, to elect a principal
for the Presbyterian High School, to be
established at Round Rock, met last night
at Temple. Rev. C. IT. Dobbs, of Waco,
for several years traveling evangelist of the
Central Texas Presbytery, was the unanimous
choice of the board. This is an A No.
I selection. By years, character, attainments,
personal standing and matured experience
Mr. Dobbs is preeminently qualified
to fill the place, build up the school and
give it usefulness and prestige. The only
thing we have to regret about it is that he
and his estimable family will have to remove
from Waco to Round Rock. The institution
will open early in September, in spacious
and comfortable buildings, and a large
attendance is already assured. Mr. Dobbs
has the appointment of the faculty.
